SLDataText

SLDataText is a lightweight addon based on text based modules, which can be moved & customized independently or globally. It includes LibSharedMedia support for expanded font selection, and various degrees of mouse click interaction on various module frames. It also supports user-created plug-ins to expand on the module selection beyond what is included in this package. Plug-ins can be as vast or as tiny as desired. Included is are custom libraries (LibSL-1.0 and LibSLTip-1.0) that are used for module configuration menu management and interactive tooltips.

Clock: Displays selected Local or Realm time, with options for 12 & 24 hour format(s). Tooltip provides expanded time information, and click interaction toggles both the Time Manager & Calendar windows.

Note: In drag & drop/configuration mode, you can left click & drag to move modules, or right click modules to open their specific configuration menu. The Global Configuration Menu has global options such as font & sizes that carry over into the modules, as well as profile options and tooltip scaling for LibSLTip tooltips.

Special Thanks: I originally wrote this AddOn a long time ago, and have taken extended breaks from WoW at which time suicidalKatt & snichols1122 both made contributions to keep the AddOn up to date and functional so people could continue to use it. I just want to give them a big "Thanks" for doing so, their efforts are much appreciated!

I love SLDT and have been using it for quite some time now. I recently found the experience module for it, installed it, and loved it as a simple way to keep track of my XP that matches the rest of my data. It's great to hear that you're going back to work on SLDT, but I was wondering if you could show some love to SLDT_Experience? It won't show anything but rep on my characters, even if they're not 80, and clicking does nothing for it.

Copying a profile also seems to be broken. Clock settings don't transfer from one profile to another.

Does a /reloadui fix the issue, (ie. does the error reproduce after the reload?), meaning it'll throw the error when you actually perform the profile change/load, but after a reload everything seems ok?

There's no Lua error on copying a profile, things just simply don't fully apply, settings seem to be missing completely.

Even after reloading UI and creating a new profile the error I posted earlier still occurs. It's only occurring when "SetProfile" is run when it's creating a new profile outside of the default profile created on first install.

Originally posted by Gimbli Does the font outline go away? Because they're both not suppose to show at the same time. The Shadow offset is barely (if at all) enough to show behind the darkened outline.

When you select font outline, it will show the outline with a shadow offset. If you then reload ui, the outline is gone.
Kinda like it more with the shadow offset.

I'll be looking into RealID support as I continue development of the new release. I'm current at a stage where all basic modules are stable, and am heading into new development on a custom tooltip system to bypass the use of TabletLib for modules such as Guild & Friend List(s) as they require the interactive Tooltip to function like previous versions.

Also, at this time I will be omitting Zone Text and Coordinate modules, as from my perspective, most users "use" a form of MiniMap that supplies appropriate modification/availability of these features. If there is an overwhelming desire for them to return, they will be reimplimented.

The current rewrite of the AddOn includes Mail, Gold, Bags, Memory, FPS, Clock, Latency, Durability, and Experience. The current Experience module has been rewritten to avoid the use of actual StatusBars and I've created a text based status bar that's more in-line with the nature of the AddOn's module display.
